Stephen kissed me in the spring,

Robin in the fall,

And never kissed at all.
Stephen’s kiss was lost in jest,

Robin’s lost in play,

But the kiss in Colin’s eyes

Haunts me night and day.

We can shape our memories so that the emotions our heart remembers are beautiful, no matter what they were in reality. Otherwise the power of our minds is utterly wasted…
